Disney's New Peter Pan

Disney will soon be adapting Peter and the Starcatchers, a new Peter Pan story based on the best-selling children's book by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. The studio has hired Jesse Wigutow (The Osterman Weekend) to pen the screenplay.

The book was recently adapted into a Broadway play, which has already turned out to be a huge hit -- it was nominated for nine Tony Awards earlier this month. So it's no surprise that Disney has decided to fast-track a feature film. And since Barry and Pearson are gearing up to write more books set in the same universe, it's likely the movie will have franchise potential.

No word yet on a director or production start date.

Resident Evil 6 to sell 7 million

Capcom expects Resident Evil 6 to be the best-selling game in company history. The publisher today released presentation materials to go with its quarterly reports, in the process sharing sales expectations for a handful of upcoming games.

Capcom expects Resident Evil 6 to be its best seller ever.

The publisher projects that Resident Evil 6 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC will sell 7 million copies worldwide. Currently, Capcom's best-selling title of all-time is the Super Nintendo edition of Street Fighter II, which sold 6.3 million copies. The last main entry in the survival horror series, 2009's Resident Evil 5, sold 5.8 million units worldwide, good enough to be the company's second best-selling game to date.

While nothing else on Capcom's slate of announced titles is expected to be in the same ballpark as Resident Evil 6, the publisher does have a number of games it projects will break the million-sold milestone. The new Devil May Cry game DMC is slated to launch sometime this year, and Capcom has it down to sell 2 million copies. Meanwhile, this months' new intellectual property Dragon's Dogma is expected to hit 1.5 million sold, while next year's Lost Planet 3 is projected to move 1.4 million copies.
